For Employers
Identifying the leaders your organisation needs next.
For companies, founders, boards, CEOs, managing directors and HR or talent leaders making senior appointments.
The challenge
Why senior hiring is different.
Executive hiring challenges
The strongest candidates are rarely looking. Roles are often confidential, stakeholders hold different views, and the cost of a mis-hire is significant.
How Faith helps
A structured search that clarifies the mandate, maps the market and engages relevant leaders directly and discreetly.
C-suite and senior leadership search
Appointments for chief officers and the leaders who report to them.
- CEO and managing director
- CFO, COO, CHRO, CTO, CCO
- Divisional and regional leadership
Board appointments and succession
Support for board composition and for planning future leadership transitions.
Confidential and retained search
Discreet assignments for sensitive appointments, scoped and agreed in writing where offered.
Market mapping and assessment
Leadership market mapping, structured candidate assessment and considered shortlist development.
